So the majority of claims in the post qouted above is BS? Who would have thought...?!
As I mentioned on that thread, I truly believe badmouthing others, as the cornerstone of marketing your own business is a bad move and poor style, and I further believe it is unsustainable, and will catch up with you. Let your work and professionalism speak for itself, and good business will follow.
For obvious reasons, as a South African, I do not take kindly to the constant bashing of the entire SA taxidermy industry. Of course, and by all means criticize when indicated, and have high standards, but sounding like a broken record about our industry, whilst not having your own house in order is simply not on.
I trust that good health will follow after your extended sickbed Dennis, and that you will get better by the day, with the aid of an excellent rehab team. I hope the taxidermists you employed work out well, and that your business does great with the new team, producing top quality work like before.

Not entirely sure why you posted that image of the message from Dennis, but since my name is mentioned and the story used by Dennis was mine and used with permission, I just want to recap my experience.
2 hunts to SA, May of 2016 and 2018. Taxidermy from 2016 arrived and 2 trophies had severe damage. A third was fixable. 2 were sent back to SA return shipping paid by original taxidermist. However I did not receive the fixed mounts until my second trip taxidermy returned.
Second trip in 2018, tried the taxidermist a second time. 2 trophies again we are not happy with, but chose to let it lie and move on.
I personally will choose to use a US taxidermist going forward as I waited 3 years to get 2 original trophies back anyway. Figure it's worth to see the difference at least.
Not picking at you, just giving my full story as my name is shown in that image with partial information.
